Analysis of Trace

Klime Kovaceski 1960 (Ohrid)



After every
Bated breath
Wistful gaze   
Impure thought
Deepened wound

After every
Crumbling wall
Letter unsent
Drained glass
Whispered lie

Only a trace is left
Eternal mark remains

After every
Wilted bloom
Melted snow
Unsaid word
Infinite ache

After every
Broken promise
Shattered dream
Wasted youth
Waning might

Only a trace is left
Eternal mark remains
